Chapter 34: Imperial Township

Henan, Nanyang City.

The Ming banner fluttered high on the city tower, accompanied by the procession of many soldiers to greet each other, and the city finally ushered in its new owner, Zhu Youhua.

Nanyang, the place where Emperor Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu began, is also known as the "Imperial Township", although it is only the level of a county town in the Ming Dynasty, but it is only larger than the ordinary state city.

Nanyang City is located in the country, and it is afraid that it is the largest county seat.

At this time, in addition to Zhu Youhua, the king of Nanyang, who was newly established here, there was another big head, that is, Zhu Yuyu, the king of Tang.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent the commander Guo Yun to Nanyang to build a guard.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to Nanyang, which is called the "imperial township", he recruited a large number of people, spent a huge amount of money, and built a new city with a standardized shape and majestic momentum on the basis of the city wall of the Yuan Dynasty, which is the origin of this Nanyang city.

Seeing the city lined up waiting to meet him, Zhu Youhua exhaled deeply, he came out, but what should he do next?

At first, he just wanted to escape from the ghost place in Luoyang, but he never thought about what he had to do to really come out and be a "king".

Is it to go with the flow, like those kings of the Ming Dynasty, to become a pig who only knows how to eat, drink and Lasa, or to open up a world of his own when this troubled world is coming.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youhua sighed, let's go, although Nanyang is big, compared to the whole world, this place is still too small.

"Nanyang City, I'm Zhu Youhua here!"

Now in Nanyang City, the big head is not Zhu Youhua, who has just set up a domain, and the Tang Dynasty has set up a domain here for more than 200 years, although there is no real power, but it has long been as stable as a rock.

Therefore, the civil and military officials in the city have no feelings for the newly established Nanyang King at all, and the newly established vassal king wants to move the cake of Nanyang, how easy is it to talk about?

As far as Zhu Youhua knows, his Nanyang Kingdom belongs to a country within a country and a country within a country.

What does that mean?

This also starts from the fact that after Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of Nanyang City, his twenty-third son Zhu Ta was sealed by Zhu Di to Nanyang to be the king of Tang Ding.

The first Tang Dynasty King Zhu Ta expanded the original Nanyang Wei Command Division Yamen into the Tang Palace, so Nanyang first came here from the Tang Dynasty, which was the Tang Kingdom.

But now, Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhu Youhua Yongye Nanyang, set up a vassal here, established the Nanyang Palace, and the Nanyang Kingdom appeared in the territory of the Tang State in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Youhua is not the first king of Nanyang to be given a vassal here.

As early as the Wanli period, after the dispute over the country, the blessed king Zhu Changxun was in Luoyang, and someone was the king of Nanyang and set up a domain.

It's just that the first king of Nanyang did not belong to the county kings of the Tang dynasty.

The original king of Nanyang was surrounded by many county kings and auxiliary generals of the Tang dynasty, but he was not valued by local officials and gentry, and he was depressed all day long, and had no heirs.

After Wanli years, the king of Nanyang was the heir of the first line, which was passed on to Zhu Youhua's generation, which can be regarded as inheriting the original mantle.

But the situation is still not optimistic, and the situation faced by Zhu Youhua is more difficult than when the first king of Nanyang came here to set up a domain.

After the Tang Dynasty established a mansion here, during the Chenghua period, the princes and grandsons multiplied day by day, and nine county kings were successively divided.

These nine county kings did not go out to set up a domain, that is to say, their current palaces are all in Nanyang City, just like the county kings who do not go out to set up a domain in the Fuwang Mansion, they opened a mansion in Luoyang.

In today's Nanyang City, in addition to Zhu Youhua, the king of Nanyang, there are also Tang Wang, Sancheng Wang, Xincheng Wang, Chengxiu Wang, Tangyin Wang, Xiyang Wang, Wencheng Wang, Yuncheng Wang, Weihui Wang, Xinye Wang.

The small Nanyang actually has nine county palaces and a prince's mansion!

Is it loaded?

Can't fit!

Do you think these ten palaces are over?

They are also surrounded by countless royal clansmen who are not qualified to be crowned princes and princes, such as the Auxiliary General's Mansion, the Fengguo General's Mansion, the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion, etc.

These clans are large and small, and they are mixed, but they all have a common name "Imperial Prince", and above these small imperial princes, they also press the Nine Great County Palaces and Tang Palaces.

Zhu Youhua set up a domain here, which is to rob people of their jobs that have been divided for hundreds of years, and every move may offend people.

The Tang Dynasty has been a feudal domain for more than 200 years, and countless clan relatives, large and small, have moved their whole bodies and forcibly increased their own lineage on other people's territory, so you can imagine what the situation is.

In addition to the territory of these royal clansmen, it was the official offices in Nanyang City.

Nanyang Mansion, Prefecture Procuratorate, Prefecture Procuratorate, Branch Guarding Dao Bureau, Nanyang Wei, Nanyang County Office, Liangxiang County Office, etc. are all located in the city, due to the large number of clan relatives of the Tang Dynasty, these mansions have even been pressed to the outermost part of the inner city.

This is the case in the government offices, and ordinary people have no way to survive in the inner city.

The mansions of the clan relatives occupied a lot of houses and acres, and there was basically no place for ordinary people to stand within the city walls, and even the acres of land outside the city were divided up by them.

Outside the south gate, Zhu Youhua saw the people who came to greet him now.

These people are civil officials and military generals, and they are headed by several people, and their ranks are not low.

In fact, Zhu Youhua was very surprised, Nanyang is a county plan, but the soldiers are much more capable than Luoyang, an important town.

Looking up, the head of Nanyang City was fluttering high with the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and behind almost every battlement, there was a soldier standing in armor and not squinting.

Some of the battlements also showed the muzzles of black holes, and from time to time the sound of horses galloping could be heard in the streets of the city, but it was the horsemen who were giving orders back and forth.

"The general army of Sichuan is as fierce as a tiger, and I am stationed in Nanyang on the order of the superintendent, and I have seen the king of Nanyang!" At this moment, a rough man stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Fierce as a tiger, this is one of the few generals who fought bravely in the late Ming Dynasty!

Fierce as a tiger is a foreigner, Chongzhen five years, with Cao Wenzhao in Shanxi to suppress the Kou when he was promoted to the garrison, after which he was out of control, first kill the thief head mixed with the king, promote guerrilla, and then cut the water bandit nine dragons, Jin general.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers entered the Kou, martial law in Beijing, no one dared to move in the Ming army, and they were as fierce as a tiger and took the lead in Beijing to Qinwang, seven battles and seven victories.

The courage of the Ming army in the ministry was so shocked that the thief Azig gave up Baoding and turned to attack Shandong, Liu Zeqing was frightened and fled all the way south, and Shandong was slaughtered several times.

Emperor Chongzhen was grateful for his courage and was crowned as the chief military officer of the Central Association.

This fierce tiger is Cao Bianjiao's general, and he has a great reputation among the tributaries, and when Cao Bianjiao went out with Hong Chengchou to aid Jin, he was left with the supervisor Yang Sichang to chase down Zhang Xianzhong.

It can be said that Fierce as a Tiger is a model of being promoted from a small soldier to his current position as a general soldier by virtue of his military exploits, stepping on the corpses of countless enemies at every step.

Compared with Wang Shaoyu, his ability is only strong and not weak!

Of course, it's about combat ability, this girl is a martial artist who came out to mix the brains or almost, was impeached by officials in the DPRK and China, I don't know how to be flexible, I lost my official position last year, and now I am also guilty of meritorious service.

"This king is still wondering, why is there such an elite sergeant stationed in this county of Nanyang District, but it is the fierce general soldier who has arrived, no wonder this is the case." Zhu Youhua stepped forward and helped the fierce tiger up.

Although these soldiers are dressed in similar attire to the rest of the Ming army, their spirit and murderous aura are not comparable to ordinary soldiers, and they must all be sharp soldiers in a hundred battles.

Fierce as a tiger was flattered, and hurriedly said: "The prince has an overreputation, and the last general just obeys orders and acts as a general." ”

"Who is this...?" Zhu Youhua looked to the side again.

Fierce as a tiger waking up like a dream, hurry up and introduce them one by one.

"In the end, I will introduce to the prince, this is Yang Zhenshou, the commander of Nanyang Guard, and this is Master Hu, the prefect of Nanyang, this is Lord Deng, who is guarding the road......"

Following his words, the officials of the Nanyang Mansion, the Prefecture Procuratorate, the Prefecture Procuratorate, the Separate Guards Department, the Nanyang Wei, the Nanyang County Administration, and the Liangxiang County Office all stepped forward to greet Zhu Youhua.

Zhu Youhua also responded with a smile one by one, and Princess Ning was talking and laughing with the wives and wives of those people, this scene looked so reassuring.

Only fierce as a tiger was paying attention to Zhu Youhua's every move.
